About Me

Hi there! I'm Jeri, 32, Irish, and working full-time as a Sales Manager for Microsoft. I am a published academic, and 3 years ago completed my doctoral thesis at the University of Leeds, 'Chivalry and English Drama, 1575-1625'.

Education

European School of Brussels 1 (88.56%) - 2006-2010
BA English, University of Bristol (2.1) - 2010-2013
MA English, University of Bristol (Distinction) - 2013-2014
PhD English (University of Leeds) - 2016-2021

Experience / Qualifications

I have been a private tutor for 11 years now, in addition to 3 years of academic teaching (undergraduate seminars) at the University of Leeds during my PhD (Shakespeare Studies). Although English Literature, and its Renaissance period especially, is my natural forte, I have had over 30 long-term tutees across English Literature, Theatre Studies, History, Sociology, Psychology, Childhood Studies, and French and Spanish.

Additionally, I teach English as a second language. As such, I can offer support in rewriting and reworking academic assignments into standard formal English.

My approach depends heavily on the student, as I tailor classes to suit individual needs. Depending on your requirements, I suggest an initial session to get to know each other and to unpack your learning objectives. From there, I typically build a learning/teaching plan which we work through in a shared document (Google).

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

My tutoring approach is student-centered, supportive, and highly adaptable. Since each learner is unique, I design my lessons according to each individual's goals, interests, and learning style.

I strive to make lessons dynamic and interactive, using discussions, creative exercises, concrete examples, and structured guidance to help students fully grasp the concepts being studied. Where relevant, I also incorporate techniques from theatre and performance to help students develop their oral fluency and communication skills.

With younger students, I focus on building a solid foundation in reading, comprehension, and critical thinking, while ensuring that lessons remain engaging and enjoyable. For older students and adults, I support the development of academic writing, spoken English, exam preparation, and professional communication skills.

Above all, my goal is to help students gain confidence, progress in a clear and positive way, and enjoy the learning process.
